Exciting Peterborough winger Danny Swanson is having a medical at Coventry City today, according to Barry Fry.

Posh’s director of football has revealed that the 27-year-old attacking midfielder was expected at Ryton to complete his switch on a free transfer from London Road.

Sky Blues boss Steven Pressley has gone on record saying that he expects to sign a wide player today and Swanson appears to fit the bill.

Travelling fans may recall the Edinburgh-born player ripped City apart for a 20-minute spell in the 1-0 defeat at Peterborough in April before he had to go off injured.

Swanson, who was called up for Scotland when he played for Dundee United but forced to pull out, has rejected a new contract offer from Posh boss Darren Ferguson who took the club to the League One play-offs last season, where they lost out to Leyton Orient.

He made 48 starts and 31 substitute appearances, scoring five goals for United in his two-year spell, the first of which was in the Championship.

A skilful player who likes to take opponents on and get balls into the box, Swanson plays predominantly on the right but can play in the hole.
